  • Alternative Analysis of Flood Control Downstream of Way Sekampung River
    2nd International Conference on Engineering and Technology Development ISSN 2301-6590 (ICETD 2013) Universitas Bandar Lampung Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Computer Science ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS OF FLOOD CONTROL DOWNSTREAM OF WAY SEKAMPUNG RIVER Sugito, Maulana Febramsyah Master of Civil Engineering, Graduate School, University of Bandar Lampung, Jl. Zaenal Abidin Pagar Alam 26 Bandar Lampung, 35142, Indonesia Abstract-Downstream part of the watershed is an area of lowland Sekampung with +3.00 to +4.00 elevation above sea level. Area located between the border regions of South Lampung regency and East Lampung. Originally this area was flooded reservoir area, the Swamp Sragi and surrounding areas, but along with the development of this area is used as a residential area, pertaniandan pond area for the people around the area. Padatahun 2002 River Way Sekampung experience overflow caused flooding in downstream areas which suffered losses of up to 38 billion rupiah. In this study analyzed the incidence of flooding that may occur based on rainfall data available. Based on the results of the input stream and cross sectional design flood discharge is seen that when the flood began when the river reaches flood discharge Q50-year anniversary. In this study flood control analysis performed on the three methods are: the construction of levees, making retention ponds and dredge rivers. The third input method results in HEC RAS 3.1.3 shows that building levees to reduce flooding by 32%, on a flood retention pond can be reduced up to 45% and normalization of the river is only able to reduce flooding by 20%.

It sheds light on the impact of forest and peat land exploitation on decreasing biodiversity of fishes in Rangau River, Riau- Indonesia. Using some catching tools such as landing net, fishing trap, fishnet stocking and fishing rod. The sampling activity was administered at eight stations which were conducted by applying “catch per unit effort technique” in primary time: 19.30-07.30, for 3 repetitions for each fish net measurement within 30 minutes at every station, at position or continuously casting. The sampled fish were selected which were relatively in minor size but had represent their features and species. The fish were labelled and were preserved with 40% formalin. The determination and identification of fish were conducted at laboratory.

Siak river has a long history as a transportation lane in the east of Sumatera. From traditional Accepted: 2021-03-30 to timber transportations are dependent on this river. Now the river is a severe suffering pollutant spill from many sources. Anthropological activities were higher contributions in the degradation of river environments. Many works were reported about pollution in Siak river. But how the distribution of model Keywords: sediment transport in the mouth of the river is less to be explained. We consider hydrodynamics model of estuary; hydrodynamics model; the mouth of Siak river for modeling the sediment distribution. is simulation gives a fundamental and total suspended solid; clear understanding of how total solid sediment (TSS) distribution when őood and ebb tide happens. At ebb sediment; tide, TSS dispersion is higher than at őood tide. ere is found that the sediment is concentrated in the Siak River plume of Siak river in Bengkalis strait. e composition of the sediment is dominated by organic matters.

Nothing much is known of its population size and distribution, except that it was confined in the area between Rokan and Siak rivers. We carried out an eight-day reconnaissance field trip and determined the presence of P. f. percura in seven locations in Riau Province, which extends south of the Siak River, beyond its previously reported range. We also obtained probably the first publicly available full-frontal coloured photos of the taxon in the wild, and photos of the Riau Pale-thighed Langur P. siamensis cana. Considering that the known populations of P. f. percura are restricted to small and isolated forest remnants, and that the remaining forests are rapidly being converted into oil palm plantations, we propose to change the listing of P.

  • Carbon Leaching from Tropical Peat Soils and Consequences for Carbon Balances
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH published: 13 July 2016 doi: 10.3389/feart.2016.00074 Carbon Leaching from Tropical Peat Soils and Consequences for Carbon Balances Tim Rixen 1, 2*, Antje Baum 1, Francisca Wit 1 and Joko Samiaji 3 1 Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology, Bremen, Germany, 2 Department of Biogeochemistry, Institute of Geology, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany, 3 Faculty of Fishery and Marine Science, University of Riau, Pekanbaru, Indonesia Drainage and deforestation turned Southeast (SE) Asian peat soils into a globally important CO2 source, because both processes accelerate peat decomposition. Carbon losses through soil leaching have so far not been quantified and the underlying processes have hardly been studied. In this study, we use results derived from nine expeditions to six Sumatran rivers and a mixing model to determine leaching processes in tropical peat soils, which are heavily disturbed by drainage and deforestation. Here we show that a reduced evapotranspiration and the resulting increased freshwater discharge in addition to the supply of labile leaf litter produced by re-growing secondary forests increase leaching of carbon by ∼200%. Enhanced freshwater fluxes and leaching of labile leaf litter from secondary vegetation appear to contribute 38 and 62% to the total increase, respectively. Decomposition of leached labile DOC can lead to hypoxic conditions in Edited by: Francien Peterse, rivers draining disturbed peatlands. Leaching of the more refractory DOC from peat is an Universiteit Utrecht, Netherlands irrecoverable loss of soil that threatens the stability of peat-fringed coasts in SE Asia.

  • The Impact of Disturbed Peatlands on River Outgassing in Southeast Asia
    ARTICLE Received 1 Apr 2015 | Accepted 8 Nov 2015 | Published 16 Dec 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms10155 OPEN The impact of disturbed peatlands on river outgassing in Southeast Asia Francisca Wit1, Denise Mu¨ller1,2, Antje Baum1, Thorsten Warneke2, Widodo Setiyo Pranowo3, Moritz Mu¨ller4 & Tim Rixen1,5 River outgassing has proven to be an integral part of the carbon cycle. In Southeast Asia, river outgassing quantities are uncertain due to lack of measured data. Here we investigate six rivers in Indonesia and Malaysia, during five expeditions. CO2 fluxes from Southeast Asian rivers amount to 66.9±15.7 TgC per year, of which Indonesia releases 53.9±12.4 TgC per year. Malaysian rivers emit 6.2±1.6 TgC per year. These moderate values show that Southeast Asia is not the river outgassing hotspot as would be expected from the carbon- enriched peat soils. This is due to the relatively short residence time of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the river, as the peatlands, being the primary source of DOC, are located near the coast. Limitation of bacterial production, due to low pH, oxygen depletion or the refractory nature of DOC, potentially also contributes to moderate CO2 fluxes as this decelerates decomposition. 1 Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT), Fahrenheitstrasse 6, 28359 Bremen, Germany. 2 Institute for Environmental Physics, University of Bremen, Otto-Hahn-Allee 1, 28359 Bremen, Germany. 3 Research & Development Center for Marine & Coastal Resources (P3SDLP), Gedung II Balitbang KP Lantai 4, Jalan Pasir Putih II, Ancol Timur, Jakarta 14430, Indonesia. 4 Swinburne University of Technology, Sarawak Campus, Jalan Simpang Tiga, Kuching, Sarawak 93350, Malaysia.
